Capítulo 117: Chapter 115: Unpleasant Retribution 1

As they stepped out of the old house, the sky had already begun to turn dark. Everyone remained silent as they walked a short distance, soon coming face-to-face with a few officers.

When Shen Chengyao saw the officers approaching them, his heart was pounding! Although his words and deeds were righteous and proper, his previous experience of being jailed had left a shadow over him.

He continued to walk forward as if nothing was wrong, but his involuntary protective action of shielding the children behind him betrayed his nervousness and worry.

Jinghao couldn't help but grip Xiao'er's hand tightly.

The officers bypassed them and continued walking, and only then did Shen Chengyao breathe a sigh of relief, his heart returning to its rightful place.

The group curiously looked back, wondering where these officers were going and what they were doing in the village.

After a thought, Shen Chengyao told the children, "Go home first, I will see where these officers are going."
